I have been enjoying the information on this forum since December and I must say it has been extremely helpful.

I have met with an been offered a position with SB & Principal Financial ..

although SB supports the first few years with a substancial paycheck, that is not why I am entering the business as i want to be pushed & driven to create my own rewards while helping people & businesses plan ahead. PFG products and business model interest me more than SB and since I have a background of dealing with small to mid size businesses ..i think i will have a nice network to work with....

Does any have any insight on Principal( I have searched the posts and read a little about them)

Thanks,The job is Financial Advisor w. PFG so I still will sell insurance products, mutual funds, etc. to individuals.. but i will also have a side of the business where I do small business planning from succession and exit strategies to 401k and other small biz retirement options
